Oracle OpenWorld 2009, San Francisco, Calif.- During a keynote presentation at Oracle® OpenWorld 2009 in San Francisco, Thomas Kurian, executive vice president, Oracle Product Development, showcased Oracle customer case studies and product demonstrations and outlined the value customers can expect to receive from the tight integration of the company’s Applications, Middleware, Database, and Infrastructure & Management software.

(Products highlighted in today’s demo include: Oracle’s Siebel CRM, Oracle® Application Development Framework (ADF), Oracle WebCenter Suite, Oracle Enterprise Content Management, Oracle Spatial.)
Business Process Management - Customers need packaged and adaptable business processes to tightly integrate order capture and supply chain, correlate inventory and demand patterns, and create the ability to respond to fluctuations in business.

Business Intelligence - Customers want packaged Business Intelligence applications with a high-performance data warehouse that provide operational intelligence across systems and functions that help users move from insight to action, and a high-performance data warehouse that allows drill-to-detail on transactions. (Products highlighted in today’s demo include: Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, Oracle Essbase and Hyperion Planning, Sun Oracle Database Machine, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle’s Siebel CRM, Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite.)

Operational Management - Customers want integrated management of business applications, database, middleware and infrastructure to ease the monitoring of real end user experience, simplify the correlation of business and system monitoring, and help make it easier to identify and resolve “stack-related” problems.
